what a scorched city

The point of deduction is that the subtitle translation is too rubbish, and the Arabic part depends on understanding. Slow rhythm + face blindness, so I felt sleepy at first.

Two space-time lines, advancing layer by layer, clear the clouds and see the sun. The great thing is that it reflects the sadness brought about by issues of ethnicity, religion, and war, as well as the loneliness and helplessness of wandering women, the brilliance and ugliness of human nature, and the family, love, and peace that life has been looking for. Good idea.

In the desert, where I tried to save a little girl in a bus, but failed, I felt both expected and unexpected.

The ending is shocking. After I reacted, it was still difficult for me to calm down until I watched the movie for a long time.

A film that can't be spoiled, and a film that gets 8.6 is not for nothing.

What a scorched city.

    The execution of a will as a "task" forms clues and motivation, which is slightly mainstream. The story itself is in line with what Said said about the wandering sense of the wandering nation. The actions of the children are root-seeking, leading to the mother’s narrative, and the mother’s experience is the suffering of the nation and war. Incest is not so much a drama as it is a deliberate setting Symbols of: the suffering of war, the loss of morality. Such a theme can attract audiences, but the image of the mother is too one-sided.

    [A-] I have always had a very complicated attitude towards Villeneuve's narrative style. You have to admit that his storytelling is very sophisticated, but it's hard to stand his long narrative rhythm. So in my impression he has always been a director who is both loved and hated and a little tricky. It was not until I watched this film that I realized that he could be so natural and speechless.

Incendies quotes

  • Notary Jean Lebel: Will of Mrs. Nawal Marwan... To Notary Jean Lebel: Bury me with no casket, no prayers, naked, face down, away from the world. Stone and epitaph. I want no gravestone, nor my name engraved anywhere. No epitaph for those who don't keep their promises. To Jeanne and Simon: Childhood is a knife stuck in your throat. It can't be easily removed. Jeanne, Mr Lebel will give you an envelope. The envelope is for your father. Find him, and give it to him. Simon, the notary will give you an envelope... The envelope is for your brother. Find him, and give him the envelope. When the envelopes have been delivered you will be given a letter. The silence will be broken, a promise kept, and you can place a stone on my grave and on it engrave my name in the sun.

  • Notary Jean Lebel: Death is never the end of the story. It always leaves tracks.
